Great freakin game choice-
Turn down the trough eject and apply protection to the shooter lane
Wax it, (if clear has cured enough)
Play it
Clean it a few times with a microfiber cloth
Play it
Wax it
Mod it

Mothers 3 carnuba or other carnuba wax is fine

Would not use novus 2 at all

The red flipper rubbers are ugly but work very well with that game…just play it-don’t build an entirely new pinball machine.

Shooter lane will chip if you do not apply some painters tape or multiple layers of (permanent) mylar, and turn down the trough eject by 50 percent-ish

When you first set up the game there will be factory dust and grime all over the game (exaggeration here)

Wipe it down or vacuum it out, inspect the balls for rust, (two stern nibs had no issues here)

Then apply carnuba mothers 3 paste wax or other non abrasive

Finish updating code, inspecting game, level, then take off the wax.

When you play your first few games, not debris will show up, wipe it up. Get another beer.

If you keep it clean, you will never need to use novus

Check the rail guides for overtightening into clear coat, and heed the advice on the shooter lane

Other than clean, wax, shooter lane, play that thing!

This stuff is ok…non abrasive. There may be better stuff

There has been a JP Prem on location in a family entertainment center here for almost two years, it has been on 12 hours per day and had its ass handed to it by greasy pizza hands and whatever else…nothing you can do to it at home will warrant armor unless you want it…the clear coat looks good around posts also fwiw.

I feel like i am talking to myself . Uh That sucks…
